The problem with making the iPhone here in the US is that it would cost several times as much to make and it would price out most consumers. Few would pay $1200 for it. In addition to considering our trade policies we have to realistically look at how to make labor cheaper here. Not by lowering wages but all the associated costs with hiring and operating a business here.
The case for overseas manufacturing and labor is too strong right now. If I needed a team of programmers I would have to look at India as an option.
Don’t bring facts to the table. It confuses trolls.
All I am saying is, currently we have destroyed millions of American jobs, sent those jobs to China, where the factories were re-assembled, and now all of those jobs are in China.
This is not a success story.
America is losing. This is not just about Apple.
We are running a MASSIVE trade deficit with China.
Massive.

I wouldn’t. They charge only half of what the US charges and take 4 times as long to do 1/10th the quality of work.
